Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

「Bi You Palace.」

"Ao Qing, it's been a month. Any news?"

"Great Immortal, you just asked three days ago. There's nothing yet; he seems to still be cultivating..."

"..."

"Quickly release the other Evil Beasts and teach him a lesson."

"Yes."

"Hmm, keep a constant watch. Don't let any accidents happen..."

"Yes."

「Outside the palace.」

Ao Qing pondered.

This month, the Great Immortal's mood seemed much improved. At least he now inquired normally about some matters of the Jiuzhou Sea Domain, and occasionally asked about them, the Exotic Beasts from Sealing God Mountain.

Of course, the matter he inquired about most frequently concerned the human Cultivator imprisoned in the Sea Prison. It was just that... from inside the Bi You Palace, one should be able to directly see what was happening down in the Sea Prison... Why would the Great Immortal ask me when he could look for himself?

Ao Qing didn't understand.

Suddenly, she remembered that when she was a child, her parents in the Dragon Palace, after an argument, insisted on sending her back and forth to relay messages, even though they lived in the same palace and could communicate directly through Divine Sense. It felt strangely similar.

A month has passed... A Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm normally couldn't last a month in the Sea Prison, bound to the Soul-locking Pillar and the Primordial Mystic Heavy Water Chain.

The Soul-locking Pillar could lock the Spiritual Power within a Cultivator's body. These pillars, crafted from Deep Sea Giant Rock, possessed an extremely strong adhesive force. Once a Cultivator was stuck to one, nearly all of their Spiritual Power became unusable.

And that Primordial Mystic Heavy Water was a Divine Water obtained by the Great Immortal from the bottom of the Heavenly Sea. A single drop was heavy enough to shake the earth and could even directly bind a Primordial Spirit.

Sometimes, when the Exotic Beasts of Sealing God Mountain committed grave errors, they were punished by imprisonment in the Sea Prison for a designated period. They would often find themselves in unbearable pain, begging for mercy within half a month.

Take Qiongqi, for instance. It was once an extremely fierce Ancient Strange Beast. When imprisoned in the Sea Prison, it cried to be let out after just half a month. Fortunately, although Qiongqi was fierce, it hadn't committed too many evil deeds. Coupled with its youth at the time, it was released quite swiftly.

The other Evil Beasts that had committed atrocious crimes had to be confined for a set number of years.

Returning to the seabed, the place was still so gloomy it felt unbearable to Ao Qing.

Thirty days was a very short time. For Exotic Beasts in cultivation, such a period would pass in the blink of an eye.

Yet in the Sea Prison, thirty days felt like an eternity.

Once more on the seabed, Ao Qing found that the human Cultivator had opened his eyes, but he was as still as a statue, motionless against the Soul-locking Pillar.

He looked as if he were dead.

It gave her a fright. Upon closer sensing, she found that the human Cultivator seemed to be holding his breath. His eyes were open, and he appeared to be in a staring contest with another Evil Beast...

Ao Qing looked around and saw that the one he was staring at was indeed the Demon Horned Flood Dragon from the Black Demon Abyss of the Western Extreme Sea. However, the latter currently looked languid, its large, bell-sized dragon eyes filled with fatigue, showing no intention of meeting the human Cultivator's gaze.

Ao Qing thought, Imprisoned for a hundred years, this old Evil Flood Dragon seems to have become much more subdued. To be scared by a mere human Cultivator's gaze... Once it's released and its strength is restored, it should be better...

"Human, have you decided?"

Ao Qing floated before Wang Mu, asking, "A month has passed. What have you considered?"

Wang Mu looked at the silvery-white Giant Dragon and took a gentle breath.

This month, his cultivation had gone very smoothly. His Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique had successfully reached the Sixth Layer.

It had to be said, this Cultivation Technique was indeed powerful. After reaching the Sixth Layer, Wang Mu found he could slightly loosen the watery chains binding him...

"How about giving me a few more months?" Wang Mu suggested.

"?" Ao Qing.

Wang Mu felt that his cultivation here was progressing very smoothly, especially the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique.

If he continued to cultivate here, he conservatively estimated that he might fully master the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique within a year. By then, he should be able to fully unleash the power of the Ten Thousand Beast Heavenly Tribulation. Currently, even at full strength, he could only exert thirty to forty percent of its power.

But even so, relying on the power of this Taoist Spiritual Artifact, dealing with Golden Core Realm Evil Beasts shouldn't be difficult. It couldn't be helped; this bow had a special offensive effect against beasts, granting it an enormous power bonus. If used against Golden Core Realm Cultivators, it likely wouldn't be so overwhelmingly powerful.

Cultivating on this seabed was arduous, true, but as long as he didn't die, he could continuously progress.

Of course, it would be ideal if he had some time to recuperate.

The training for Body Cultivation generally needed to be supplemented with numerous healing elixirs or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to recover from the physical damage incurred during training. Otherwise, before the Cultivation Technique could be mastered, the body might succumb to the strain first. This was also why Body Cultivation was so difficult in the initial stages. Most Cultivators, by the Nascent Soul Stage, possessed the strength and resource reserves to gradually begin refining their bodies, and their rate of progress would also be faster.

Having trained for a month now, especially on the seabed and under the restraints of the chains and pillar, his recovery was insufficient. Wang Mu decided he would temporarily halt his cultivation. The correct rhythm would be to take a few more months to recuperate before resuming his training.

It would be best if the restraints could be removed to allow for faster recovery.

Look at those other Evil Beasts, each one half-dead. One should never assume this place was easy to endure.

"Do you think this place is your home?" Ao Qing eyed Wang Mu. She found that despite there being no injuries on the human Cultivator, he instead exuded a subtle sense of unyielding fortitude, like a divine stone or stubborn ore from the depths of the sea.

The impression he gave her was less like a human and more akin to the many Ancient Evil Beasts that had become one with this place.
